This property needs to be seen to truly appreciate the effort the current owners have put in over the last 25 years to establish the once bush block into a thriving organic smorgasbord!
There is fully caged berry patches (blueberries, grapes, raspberries, blackberries, boysenberries and currents) well fenced vegie patches and over 26 heritage fruit trees (also caged and with their own watering system from a rainwater tank). The extensive garden also includes worm farms, compost heaps and a large chook yard.
Numerous buildings include a potting/storage shed, workshop with three phase power, toilet and wood heater, woodshed and double carport.
Set on just over 5 acres this very private location borders crown land with plenty of tracks for horse riding, walking or motorbikes right on your backdoor. The home is also on town water and walking distance to the golf club and schools and only a few minutes drive to the beach and CBD of Penguin.
Now for the house!!!! Designed by Jake Weeda to catch the sun and be passive solar. The floor tiles and internal wall capture the heat and help keep the home warm. 12 solar panels with 2 kw inverter and solar hot water cylinder also help keep the power costs down.
The house has 3 bedrooms all with builtins, a large 2nd living room with bay windows and wood heater which could also be used as a 4th bedroom if needed. The open plan living area is heated with a Kent wood heater and has an office alcove and low maintenance tiled flooring. A study (currently being used as a meditation room) and storeroom complete the spacious 20 square family home.
